my couch is very comfortable. i live with 5 other housemates, we call our home The House of Grace. it's a nice place to be, close to lovely places like greenlake and neptune coffee.
we have a cat, scrappy.
we are close to all the busses.
i'm usually busy working but can time off for visitors.
we go to bed on the later side, and like to have fun always!
we are smoking/drinking friendly.

This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.
In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.
When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you.
Lauren and her roomies are very gracious and love to go out. Knowing I love art, Lauren guided me to their neighborhood Art Collective Exhibit that Friday night I came in from San Fran. Their house is conveniently located in a funky neighborhood in Greenwood with lots of cafes, pubs, etc. The roomies who i met, Ian, Ben(a talented singer) and Simon were equally accomodating. She's definitely one of the home girls with lots of flavor and masala spice.
Amazing, radtastical time of fun, excitement and intrigue. For cereals very cool person.

It's really strange to have to sum up someone who's been a close friend since I was a teenager. Lauren is a hurricane of fun and open-mindedness, couch surf at her pad...
